The People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts is a homegrown festival celebrating the work of Pennsylvania artists. The First Festival, held in 1993, was organized to run at the same time as the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts and to showcase the creativity and workmanship of artisans living in Pennsylvania. The first festival featured 50 artists, a few food booths, and limited all volunteer groups. It is estimated that more than 120,000 people visited the festival in 2019! The festival featured 171 musical performances taking place in two entertainment locations, food vendor’s booths, a specialty food booth, a young artisan sales area and every day is kids day at the Peoples Choice Festival! Featuring a Children's Science Tent, Bounce houses, a riding arena, face painting, youth artisan sales... there is truly something for everyone at the festival!! The People’s Choice Festival will move to it's new venue in 2022, at the Grange Park in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. The festival is just 10 miles from State College. The food vendor and artisan tents circle the field. Inside the circle are located two entertainment tents each seating approximately 400 people each, an activity tent, an emergency medical personnel tent, large dining area tents, four drink booths, and four rest areas. Children can play on the expansive lawn encircled by the tents. Festival goers love the Peoples Choice Festival for many reasons! The People’s Choice Festival is a newly incorporated nonprofit organization. There is plenty of parking at The Grange Park. Free shuttle golf carts are available to assist patrons in getting around the festival grounds. Special Entertainment at this years festival, check the website for listings!

🎵Clean up, clean up!🎵

Of course we would always clean up after ourselves, but we give extra special care and attention to the Pennsylvania Military Museum grounds on clean up day! Out of great respect for the institution and its mission, and the environment, we commit to picking up every scrap of trash we see. We hope that no straw wrapper or little sample cup is left behind!

If you’d like to help out with this next year, we could always use volunteers! The more eyes we have out here the better.

Thank you all for coming out this year!

Happy Sunday!

We are open 11am-4pm today and will not charge parking from 2pm-4pm.

This morning we’d like to thank the The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau for their generous and much appreciated support. This would not be possible without them!

We have had such a great time being back here in Boalsburg and they played a big hand it making it happen.
